Truth & Lies 04:51
[Verse 1] It’s been too long now, she said to me So much has come to pass In this absence I have felt between us In the time that we’ve been apart [Verse 2] So let us talk of lovers we do not love And all of the friendships we just will not keep Of stories new and all of the rumours that are true And all of those secrets we just cannot keep [Chorus] Repeat the lies, oh and blacken my name against the wall Stone me with your bitter tongue Brag to me of your man and so many lovers But I chose one, you can have the others [Verse 3] I’ll show you mine if you show me yours My lips are sealed, oh they’re true Until the next time that I feel the need to say And tell everybody else all about you [Chorus] Repeat the lies, oh and blacken my name against the wall Stone me with your bitter tongue Brag to me of your man and so many lovers But I chose one, you can have the others [Verse 4] So popular, so many they will choose To share in your life along the way But nothing is new, no and nothing will have changed The same old stories, the same old lies [Chorus] Repeat the lies, oh and blacken my name against the wall Stone me with your bitter tongue Brag to me of your man and so many lovers But I chose one, you can have the others

about

Truth & Lies is the first single from Zinnia Blue's upcoming debut album The Garden, due for release in January 2020. A personal take on the subtle but destructive power of gossip and bragging within friendships, the song features Americana instrumentation to give this folk ballad a sweet but energetic sound, and a home in a number of roots genres.
